lyrics

Im sorry that my life isnt the life you had planned for me

Im so sorry...

Its so hard to make sense of who i am
Because looking back all I ever wanted
Was to be accepted for the things I achieved and the goals I had set
For myself and only myself.
I always wanted to be just like you
But your absence in my adolescence taught me how to lay the footprints of my own bright future.
Still, Id be lying if I said that I didnt want you to be proud of me.

But Maybe I did something?
Maybe I pushed you away?
I just dont know anymore
I...I just want my childhood back
I just want to hear that youre proud of the choices Ive made
And the steps that Ive taken
To make my own destiny

A destiny that should be so fulfilling
And yet, I still have such a big, empty hole in my heart that I relied on you to mend: That I relied on you to fill...

I just cant go on pretending to be something that Im not
Im just so tired of living to your standards of letdowns and bad habits
This is not how a family is supposed to be

Break the chains
That bind you to negativity
Break the chains
That bind you to mediocrity
Break the chains

Revisiting this album today and it is just as powerful and demanding as it was eight years ago. Perfectly pertinent to today's pandemic world and all the other donked up messes facing us. This album reminds us to live... while we may. To quote from 'Disolve': "Our blood will dry some day. But our bones won't break." grahamco
